Argle. This Wednesday Weigh Day post is delayed by two days. In part because I had a busy week, but also in part because I took a few steps back and didn't really want to put it all in words.
Actually, I did REALLY well with my eating despite one of the most stressful weeks of my entire life. My food choices were awesome, and I stayed strong even though I wanted to find solace and comfort with the one thing that could make me feel better, if only temporarily.....food. But I didn't. I really didn't.
During that time, I had one, only one, not so great dinner which really wasn't even all that bad. French toast with sausage. Not horrible. In the meantime, I resisted all desire to order a greasy burger at Culver's while picking up my mom a fish sandwich. Instead, I went through the Wendy's drive through and ordered myself a salad. I resisted the desire for a nummy chocolate malt from Bridgeman's (yes, again). Instead, I put just three spoonfuls of my mom's malt in a small glass for myself. Yes, I stayed strong.
Then I weighed myself and was rather disappointed to learn I gained 2 pounds. Back up to 137 and no longer at my goal weight. Still, better than I was just months ago.
So, I waited just a few days to see if perhaps that was a fluke day, and I really didn't weigh 2 pounds heavier. But, no, I reweighed today, and yes, I am indeed 2 pounds heavier.
Disappointed, yes, but self sabotaging, no. Yesterday I did have a moment of "I'll eat this huge cookie given to me by a coworker because I had a bad weigh-in". I resisted it for just about an hour, but then devoured that delicious orb in no time flat.
I know many different factors can account for 2 pounds so I am not obsessing about it.....much. My activity level has decreased quite a bit so I just need to remember to keep moving and keep eating healthy.
Here is to a better weigh-in next week!
